New to Appian

I´m going to do the exam today, and I would like to know any advice to pass it, and how difficult it is. I did the Analyst Course and I have reinforced it with the Appian Documentation. Any advice? Thanks!

Hello everyone! I recently joined an IT company as an intern developer, and I've been assigned to the Low Code department, which works with Appian. I've been advised to study Appian before getting involved in projects, so I signed up for the Appian Developer Learning Path and have been working through some courses. However, the reason I'm writing this is to ask for advice on what else I should focus on besides the courses in the Appian Developer Learning Path. I know these types of questions are quite common, but with so much information available, I sometimes feel a bit lost. I really want to learn and be as useful as possible in this role, so any guidance from experienced developers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot, friends!

Hi All, I am using gridPlusLayout , i want to know how can we put validation on columnConfigs. 1.Like if want to put validation for null or empty. 2. the second concern is when i am editing a field after made changes it save data into separate variable, but every time when we load grid it by default creates a null empty row and add that row also in save data variable. so when i am saving that record  in record type it thorw error because a null type or row is also adding into save data variable.  It works fine when we manually remove that data from grid but when we don't remove that causes error. So how to handle this situation.

Hi All, I hope everyone is doing well. I have 2 records - 1) Employee's Details   2) Task   3) Upload. When i raise a request and submit , the details get save in Employee record . and a task is created . For the employee's  they upload few documents like 1) kyc, 2) pan, 3) aadhaar. They have an option to select the document they are  going to upload. The catch here is for all employees all the uploads are not mandatory , they can upload any 2 or 1 or all three of them.  Here in the grid , we gave a start link so that the process model of upload document starts automatically and based on the document upload for a request the link should be disabled , so that for same request id we cannot upload any other extra document. Can anyone please help me with the right approach. Thank you in advance.

Hi all, I am new to the Appian. I am created an interface with record type, add option and a process model to save the data in database. Created process model with the options ‘write to entity’ and ‘write to records. Below is my understanding. Enable activity chaining is refreshing record type data in both the options. Rule input for interface can be created by using CDT. This will work only for ‘write to entity’. ‘Write to entity’ and ‘Write to record’ both are same. ‘Write to record’ is the latest one and ‘Write to entity’ is the legacy approach.  Please confirm is there any other main difference.
